Lesson 8: Safe Movement

Fibromylgia has many symptoms including chronic pain, including sensitivity and tightness of muscles, numbness, spasms and tingling. The wikipeadia description of “fibromyalgia” is from New Latin fibro-, meaning “fibrous tissues”, Greek – myo –, “muscle”, and Greek – algos , “pain”; thus, the term literally means “muscle and fibrous connective tissue pain”  

Myofascial Release technique is a physical therapy working on pain in myofascial tissues. A thin layer which surround and support the muscles throughout the body. The pain usually originates from specific areas called “trigger points.” In Myofascial release it’s not always easy to find what trigger point or area is responsible for the pain. Myofascial release can also be used over a broad area of muscle and tissue rather than at single points.
